Answer: 126 and 128

Step-by-step explanation: In this problem have two consecutive even integers whose sum is 254.

Consecutive even integers can be represented as followed.

X ⇒ <em>first even integer</em>

X + 2 ⇒ <em>second even integer</em>

<em />

Since the sum of these is 254, our equation reads X + X + 2 = 254.

We can simplify on the left side of the equation to get 2x + 2 = 254.

Now, we subtract 2 from both sides of the equation to get 2x = 252.

Lastly, we will divide both sides of the equation by 2 in order to isolate <em>x</em>. On the left side, the 2's cancel out and on the right, 252 divided by 2 is 126.

If our first integer is 126, our next consecutive even integer will be 126 + 128 which simplifies to 254.

Therefore, our two consecutive even integers are 126 and 128.

The scale for a map is 20 miles = 1/2 inch. The distance between two towns on the map is 3 3/4 inches. What is the actual distan
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

150 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

If 1/2 of an inch is 20 miles, we can assume that 1/4 of an inch is 10 miles, since half of 1/2 is 1/4 and 1/2 of 20 is 10.

Equipped with this information, we can divide 3 by 1/2 or multiply 3 by the reciprical, 2/1 to get how much we should multiply 20 by.

3*2=6

20*6=120

Then we can multiply 10 by 3 and add that on our answer, since there are still 3/4s left and 1/4=10 miles.

10*3=30

120+30=150

The actual distance is 150 miles.

Hope this helps!

Please help!!!!!!! How many inches would a point on the outer edge of the large gear travel in a 150º rotation? (The gear has a
damaskus [11]
In a full rotation, 360°, a point on the edge of a gear would travel a distance equal to its circumference.  The circumference of a circle is:

C=2πr, and since we are only traveling 150°, we need to set up an appropriate ratio for circumference to the distance the point travels:

d/C=150/360

d=5C/12 and since C=2πr

d=10πr/12

d=5πr/12, and since r=4in

d=5*4π/12 in

d=20π/12 in

d=5π/3 in

d≈5.24 in (to nearest hundredth of an inch)
